groovygirl is keeping an eye on the outflow of funds from PIMCO. 12% now? Click here.

The number is not necessarily the issue. The issue is why pull money just because Gross left? Doesn’t sound right. Something else happening. And if it’s happening at PIMCO, is it a bond market problem. The government can solve a PIMCO problem. The government can not solve a systemic bond market problem. What is it? Don’t know. Have to wait and see. Is this a global issue? And where are the funds going? Stocks? Cash? Overseas?

groovygirl has been keeping a close eye on the immigration debate. She is convinced that this will be a factor in moving a major shift on all levels in the US, REGARDLESS of what is done. This issue, since it has not been addressed, has huge economic, cultural, and political impacts. gg also sees potential states rights confrontations and a thousand possible unintended consequences whatever the policy(s) moving forward.

gg also thinks this issue has the potential to split political parties as Martin Armstrong has warned will happen in the next few elections.

The leaked international trade agreement or TISA from June 2014, click here, seems to be a double standard. Individuals can not move money internationally, avoid taxes, heavy fees or trust their info is private, but too big to fail can.

I think international “sanctions” will be a guise for controlling individual money, but the too big to fail will continue to move money, launder money, and collect data. Brilliant.

On a positive note, more individuals will be forced to invest money locally. It is estimated that 50-90% of invested money is lost when it has to “go through” a third party’s hands, such as bank, broker, government, mutual fund, hedge fund, etc. Direct money from you to your local store, tradesman or business ends up creating more capital in the big picture. One reason why groovygirl likes this direct internet fund/business investing trend. But you still have to do your due diligence.

Groovygirl was rereading some old articles from Martin Armstrong. The ones on the typewriter. Of course, gg often reviews the Real Estate Cycle one. Seems we are still right on schedule for the long decline in US real estate into 2033 after 2015.

gg was also reading March 21, 2013’s post entitled March 22nd-Just Amazing. I think you can find it on his site.

Martin refers to August 3, 2014 as a turning point for the Sovereign Debt Crisis Wave Formation. She is keeping an eye on that date.

And, of course, with today’s international events, it seems we are on track for a rise in the war cycle going 2014-2016. Maybe impact the global debt issue as well. The more global economic sanctions, the less global capital moves, the less global debt/credit available.
